Description
Print and summary method for objects of class limitmeta.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'limitmeta'
print(x, sortvar, backtransf=x$backtransf,
digits=max(3, .Options$digits - 3), header=TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'limitmeta'
summary(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'summary.limitmeta'
print(x, backtransf=x$backtransf,
digits = max(3, .Options$digits - 3),
header=TRUE, ...)
Arguments
x
An object of class limitmeta or summary.limitmeta.
object
An object of class limitmeta.
sortvar
An optional vector used to sort the individual studies
(must be of same length as x$TE).
backtransf
A logical indicating whether results should be
back transformed in printouts and plots. If backtransf=TRUE
(default), results for sm="OR" are printed as odds ratios
rather than log odds ratio, for example.
digits
Minimal number of significant digits, see print.default.
header

meta-analysis, comparison and outcome should be printed at the
beginning of the printout.

other arguments to the function will be ignored (this
option included only to conform with R standards)
Details
The summary.limitmeta function prints a summary of a limit
meta-analysis (R<c3><83><c2><bc>cker et al., 2011); unadjusted as well as adjusted effect estimates in a random effects model are printed.
The function print.limitmeta prints the summary information above
together with the following study information:
Effect estimate with confidence interval
Shrunken effect estimates with confidence interval
Value
The function summary.limitmeta returns the same list as the
function limitmeta, however class "summary.limitmeta" is
added to the object in order to print a short summary of the limit
meta-analysis object.
